Abstract

A heat dissipation structure for communication chassis. The heat dissipation structure includes an enclosure. At least one first copper heat absorption component and at least one first heat pipe assembly are disposed in the enclosure. The first heat pipe assembly is connected with the first copper heat absorption component and a section not in contact with the first copper heat absorption component. The first heat pipe assembly serves to quickly transfer heat absorbed by the first copper heat absorption component to the section not in contact with the first copper heat absorption component to dissipate the heat.

The heat dissipation structure for the communication chassis as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the enclosure includes a first heat dissipation section, a second heat dissipation section, a third heat dissipation section, a fourth heat dissipation section and a fifth heat dissipation section, which communicate with each other to form a cold area, the first heat dissipation section being disposed on the bottom face of the receiving space and distal from the first copper heat absorption component, the second, third, fourth and fifth heat dissipation sections being disposed on a periphery of the receiving space in communication with each other. 
     
     
       4. The heat dissipation structure for the communication chassis as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein at least one chassis board is rested in the receiving space, the at least one heat-generating component being disposed on the at least one chassis board. 
     
     
       5. The heat dissipation structure for the communication chassis as claimed in  claim 4 , further comprising at least one support element and at least one heat conduction element, the at least one support element being disposed in the receiving space of the enclosure for supporting the at least one chassis board, and the at least one heat conduction element having at least one second copper heat absorption component, which abuts against the at least one heat-generating component of a chassis board of the at least one chassis board to form the hot area. 
     
     
       6. The heat dissipation structure for the communication chassis as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein two opposite end faces of the at least one second copper heat absorption component are flush with surfaces of the at least one heat conduction element and the at least one second copper heat absorption component is integrally formed with the at least one heat conduction element.
